The Little Superman of Hogwarts

Ginny's face turned very unsightly, and eventually, Klee and the others arrived at the school hospital, sitting in the quiet ward.

"That was the sound of the Basilisk!" Ginny said, still shaken: "The Dark Lord controlled me, operating the Basilisk. It was the Basilisk that attacked Hermione! The Dark Lord is that diary. Klee already threw it into the flames. It shouldn't be opened again!"

"Unless…" Klee said: "Unless that diary cannot be destroyed by fire! Now it must have been taken away by someone!"

Hermione looked at Klee with a very subtle gaze. She was the most familiar with Klee and didn't believe what Klee was saying at all, but she didn't interrupt, quietly waiting for Klee to continue his performance.

Ginny firmly believed it. Her fearful expression showed that she once again recalled the fear of being dominated by Voldemort. Although nearly a month had passed, the fact that Hermione was harmed still deeply affected her.

This was the first time Harry had heard of such a thing. In the current rumors at school, Ginny was an evil witch and Hermione was the victim, but out of politeness, Harry had never inquired in detail.

Klee pretended to be profound and said: "Harry, I think the 91st Legion needs to stand up again to protect Hogwarts!"

"Before that, I want to know what exactly happened?" Harry asked疑惑.

Klee saw Harry's gaze and immediately got into character, slowly saying:

"As you know. The founders of Hogwarts School were the four greatest wizards of their time.

The four houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. They built this castle together, away from the prying eyes of Muggles, because in those days, people feared magic, and wizards suffered a lot of persecution."

"For the first many years, the four founders worked hard together.

They searched everywhere for young people showing signs of magic, and brought them to the castle to nurture them. But perhaps after decades, there were differences between them, irreconcilable differences.

Perhaps you can guess—Slytherin wanted Hogwarts to be more selective when admitting students.

He believed that magic education should be limited to pure-wizarding families. He was unwilling to accept Muggle-born children, believing they were unreliable.

After some days, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a fierce argument over this issue, and then Slytherin left the school.

This fierce division even continues to this day—the tradition of Slytherin's snakes and Gryffindor's lions being at odds with each other comes from this matter."

"But, the truth has been obscured by strange legends about the Chamber of Secrets. The story says that Slytherin built a secret room in the castle, a Chamber of Secrets—which the other founders knew nothing about.

"According to this legend, Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that no one could open it until his true heir came to the school. Only that heir could open the Chamber of Secrets, release the terrifying thing inside, and let it purify the school, clearing out all those unworthy of learning magic."

Klee paused here, waiting for them to digest the information. After waiting for more than ten seconds, he continued: "In fact, just like Ginny said, this Chamber of Secrets is not fake, but truly exists!"

"Last time, under the control of the Dark Lord, Ginny opened the Chamber of Secrets, and the terrifying monster inside attacked Hermione—Hermione, you should still remember, right?"

Hermione shook her head and said: "I only remember seeing a pair of terrifying eyes, I don't remember anything else… It seemed to be a snake?"

"That thing is not a snake, or rather, that thing is called a [Basilisk]!" Klee explained: "I once saw a speculation about the Chamber of Secrets in a notebook—Slytherin raised a Basilisk in his later years, and wrote a curse into its blood, so that later heirs could control that thing.

The sound you heard was the sound of the Basilisk! It's calling its master! That heir of Slytherin!"

"Then it must be very terrifying, right?" Harry asked: "How can we kill it?"

"The Basilisk is a monster hatched from a chicken egg by a toad. The male snake has a bright red feather on its head. Its fangs are exceptionally poisonous, and phoenix tears are its only antidote. Its gaze is the most dangerous weapon of attack: any creature that directly intersects with its gaze will die instantly, and creatures that indirectly intersect (such as seeing it in a mirror) will be petrified. As long as there is enough food, the Basilisk can usually live for a long time.

An adult Basilisk is at least 20 feet long, and this Basilisk obviously has a lifespan of over a thousand years—I dare say its length must be over a hundred feet!" Klee said: "Obviously this thing will soon be released by the true heir—Harry, I need you!"

"Hogwarts needs your 91st Squad! Our classmates need you to protect them!" Klee said deeply.

Harry's eyes were instantly filled with high fighting spirit, as if an oil drum had been ignited in an instant—Klee was secretly happy. Sure enough, it's easy to deceive simpletons.

"I still have a question, why can only I hear the Basilisk's voice?" Harry asked: "Of course, you and Hermione can also hear it, but what I mean is why can only the three of us hear it? Ginny can't, and Ron and Neville can't even more."

"I think I know the answer to this question!" Hermione interjected: "[Parseltongue], an ability to communicate with snakes, because being able to talk to snakes is Salazar Slytherin's famous skill. Therefore, the symbol of the Slytherin faction is a snake."

"Correct!" Klee gave a thumbs up: "This is an ability inherited from bloodline."

After Harry continued to ask some details, he quickly left. Ginny returned to the girls' dormitory worriedly. Finally, only Klee and Hermione were left in the large school infirmary.

"You lied just now!" Hermione said: "Could it be that you opened the Chamber of Secrets?"

"I gave the notebook to Malfoy—the result was that Goyle, that little follower, opened the Chamber of Secrets!" Klee shrugged.

"Why couldn't it be destroyed?" Hermione had some doubts.

"Simply put, it's because it hasn't reached the time to leave the stage, so once we destroy it, it will only bring greater, unknown dangers!" Klee said: "I'm not kidding, this is the truth. It's like in a novel, there must be a villain. If there is no villain, new bad guys will naturally appear! All I'm doing is preventing the appearance of new bad guys."

"I kind of understand what you mean." Hermione nodded, answering thoughtfully.

"But we now have a bigger problem that needs to be answered immediately." Klee said with a frown.

"What problem?" Hermione asked, confused.

"Why can we two hear the Basilisk's voice?" Klee said while thinking: "No matter what, we shouldn't be able to understand what the Basilisk is saying!"

Hermione didn't know the original plot, but Klee knew—Hermione shouldn't have understood the Basilisk's words at all, and Klee shouldn't have understood either. After all, Parseltongue is actually a DNA inheritance thing. As a Kryptonian, how could he have any connection with Earth's snakes?

Wait… Thinking of this, Klee suddenly had a somewhat outrageous guess…
